Hiding From God

Lord, You will never hide Your face,
And all we are and do You see,
For You created human race
To be what You want each to be;

But we have sinned and tried to hide      
Behind a fig leaf from Your sight,
For we cannot Your gaze abide;
It fills us with a horrid fright;

Yet gentle You will come to us
As Babe with Mary You abide,
To say that You still will us trust
To see Your truth, come to your side;

And so we come to die with You
As bathed in water, blood You pour,
And covered with Your morning dew
On Spirit’s wings we with You soar;

And now we see Your face again
And revel in the light You give
To all who’re now made free from sin
And with Your Father, Mother live.
